[comp.sys.amiga] Reading Right Mouse Button

ebr@io.UUCP (Evan B. Ross) (09/02/87)

	Does anybody know how to read the state of the right mouse button,
	other than using RMB_TRAP in Intuition?  I want to read it  right
	from the hardware, but the results I've been seeing don't agree
	with the Amiga manuals.

	The manuals say that the button is connected to one of the proportional
	inputs, which supposedly gets reset to zero during every vertical blank.

	What I've been seeing is that the counter never gets reset, but is
	stable while the button is up, and changing while the button is down.

	Is this for real, or am I looney (not necessarily mutually exclusive)?

	So much for quality documentation. :-)
